I go to loads of radiators at work that have fallen off the wall due to the installing thinking it is ok to install a 1100 x 500 double panel radiator with 2 plasterboard fixings per bracket.
Anyway, last night I went to my fiance's aunty's house because the radiator was leaking. The rad has a small hole in the bottom, so I will need to fit a new one. But the old one just has a 2" 10 and a brown plug in the plaster board, which I don't really want to do. But the wall is tiled, so it is going to be difficult to use expansion screws and red heads are not going to work either. I am thinking I'm going to have to drill out the tile to the size of the head of the expansion fittings.
What are your thoughts/experiences/suggestions?
